Details

The NOVA Galaxi DVR Lathe is powered by the renowned DVR (Digital Variable Reluctance) drive and is built for the most demanding, rugged turning conditions. This advanced motor technology, exclusive to NOVA, delivers an incredible turning experience.

The DVR Lathe features a 1-3/4 HP, 115V motor that is direct drive, using one-piece rotors and no pulleys or belts for extremely smooth turning performance and 100% transfer of power to the spindle, which is actually the rotor assembly of the DVR motor itself.

The powerful onboard computer which controls the DVR Drive closely monitors lathe spindle conditions (load and size) and delivers just the power and torque necessary to keep to within 1-2% of the set speed. This lathe combines the best features of larger lathes - power, capacity and capability with state of the art technology to make turning more efficient, fun and safer. The NOVA Galaxi DVR 1644 is the most versatile lathe on the market offering an impressive speed range, easier controls, and sturdy cast-iron stand.

Reviews

Not as good a Laguna

This lathe has too much electronics for a woodturner unless a computer geek. It is constantly giving warnings when trying to start up or reverse. If one is an experienced turner, they will be unhappy. Another problem, cannot put a vacuum chuck on this lathe without purchasing a third party hand wheel. Contacted Teknatool support and talked to 3 different people, two did not know what a vacuum chuck was. Lathe makes a great spindle turning machine but not a bowl turning. Recommend the laguna over this one if planning on bowl turning.

Heavy duty and safe.

Shipping was quick, product came in large crate very secured inside bolted to the bottom. Assembly was easy. People interested in this should note the threading is 1.25" x 8 TPI so you'll want a chuck that fits that, or an adapter. The motor is great, super safe, quiet, and powerfull. With the outrigging feature there is allot you can make on this lathe.
